If you follow my food posts, you may have noticed I usually post recipes on Friday so you can go into the weekend with a new recipe to try out after your weekend long run. But I’m posting the lentil tacos recipe today. Because Taco Tuesday. How do I know runners eat lentil tacos? Because once upon a time, in …

Saturday’s Miguel Reyes Memorial 5K is more than another race in the park; it’s an opportunity for runners to honor the memory of Miguel Reyes, a beloved member of the Fresno running community who was involved in a fatal car accident two years ago. Race director Jesus Campos, Reyes’ friend and training partner, organized the first Miguel Reyes Memorial 5K …

Last week my son asked me to take him to the juice bar near our house. Despite having opened more than a year ago and featuring very trendy smoothie bowls on its menu, we still hadn’t ventured inside. Two smoothie bowls and $18 later, I discovered why the juice bar is an occasional treat and not a replacement for my …

You may have noticed, in recent years, that some California marathons and half marathons are designated as being part of the California Half and Full Marathon Series. I first became aware of the series several years ago, when I was still living in the Bay Area, but I had taken a break from running long distances and quickly forgot about …

Sometimes, a change of pace is just what I need. After a long six months of training for two marathons a month apart, I’ve spent the summer rediscovering my love of cross-training and have been running only occasionally. Mostly this has consisted of indoor cycling, barre classes, and yoga, but earlier this week a running buddy and I decided to …

What do runners eat? Some of us might be tempted to look at the mileage we’re putting in and reply, “Whatever we want.” And it’s true, a lot of runners know how to balance mostly-healthy choices with the occasional indulgence. Others, for health or personal reasons, take this a step further and stick to paleo, gluten free, or vegan diets. …

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERED. Did you read last week’s review of goodr running sunglasses and think to yourself, “I need a pair of these sunglasses to win style points, because I’m certainly not setting PRs when it’s 110 degrees outside”? (Maybe you are setting PRs, in which case, you’re doing better than me.) Well, we’re about to help …

When you think of the Fourth of July, you probably think of fireworks. With good reason, of course. But why wait until the end of the day to celebrate our nation’s birthday? If you’re an early riser, you can kick your holiday off at Fresno’s annual Fourth of July race, the Freedom Run. Held in Woodward Park and presented by …

Monique “Runner Moe” Jacques is cool. The local ultrarunner is only a few weeks out from her July 10 debut appearance at the STYR Labs Badwater 135, but from the calm way she talks about it, she might as well be training for a weekend 5K. Billed as “The World’s Toughest Footrace,” the 135-mile Badwater ultramarathon begins in Death Valley’s …
